Parisian Postcard with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps -Pattern on Pattern Paper & Freestyle Collage Stamping-

I've been spending time in my craft room playing with stamps by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I love to have a chance to use my inks and clear stamps to create collages. Today I'm using the first clear stamp set I ever designed, Parisian Postcard.



Main Supplies:Die cuts - Spellbinders: Elegant Ovals, A2 Matting Basics A, Ferns, Classic Ovals LG / Die-namites: Ramona Flower / Memory Box: Botanical Stem
Stamps - Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Parisian Postcard by Graciellie Design
Inks - Clearsnap Colorbox: -Love- Paintbox, Teresa Collins -Fierce- Petal Point
Paper - Heavyweight vellum / blue iridescent cardstock / pink leather textured cardstock / white opaline cardstock
Tools - Acrylic stamping blocks / Evolution Advanced Die cutting machine / Westcott Paper Trimmer / Scissors / Mini Minc machine
Other - Therm O Web: Gold Deco Foil, Mixed Media Adhesive, Foam Squares, Zots Small / Air Dry Clay / Stampendous Frantage Shabby Pink embossing enamel / Clearsnap Colorbox Clear embossing powder / Eyelet Outlet Pink pearls


This pretty stamp set gives you so many possibilities. I created a subtle collage on the background and framed it with die cuts I arranged around the oval frame with a stamped Eiffel Tower from the same set.

As to other techniques, I created my own specialty cardstock printing a polka dot pattern over a floral pattern, that I then foiled in gold. It gives the card a truly unique look. To add a delicate touch, I stamped in white and heat embossed in clear a couple of butterflies on vellum, adhered an air dry clay heart I made, and added pink pearls to the floral die cuts.


This freestyle collage card has no sentiment, as I felt it didn't need one with all the elements it has already. It sure was a fun and delightful card to make and it felt like I was revisiting old stamping times.



I invite you to come take a closer look to this classic stamp set at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and join the conversation on social media using #gracielliedesign. Thanks so much for stopping by. Until next time!

I'm back with a fun and really easy to make card for the Holidays or the New Year and I have a video tutorial with Therm O Web today. I'm sure we all are rushing at the very last minute looking for tags and cards and wrapping gifts... I know I always am. That is why my latest Holiday projects have been on the quick and easy side so you can try them out if you need to! The usual theme for New Year's cards is usually monochromatic, metallic... But, what if we used colorful Holiday colors instead? Why not? Well, this time you'll see me use papers from Simple Stories Very Merry Collection. Video Tutorial This is short and sweet video tutorial where I show you how I put together this card. Really with card designing the hard part is figuring out what you want your card to look like in the end but once you have figured out what elements you'll be adding and where you will be placing them the card comes together pretty fast. So the behind the scenes may not ha...
